FRWL vs MR - while Moore's fourth outing will always have a special place in my heart for the sheer audacity of the undertaking (it's still visually an epic feast that has yet to be bettered to this day imho), FRWL is my firm #1 film. So no contest. It's perfection to me. A relatively unique 'realistic' tight suspense thriller that predates the now somewhat stale formula.

OHMSS vs QoS - OHMSS by far. It's a film that improves with every viewing for me and one that continues to increase in my rankings. It really is classic Bond at its finest. A real achievement which in some ways has an old school Hollywood vibe to it while still being distinctly British. QoS has its moments and there is a lot to like (Kurylenko, Arterton and Almaric as well as a killer performance from Craig), but I can never rank it too high because it comes across as being a bit too influenced by contemporary action fare to me. A bit too busy.

FRWL over MR - Pretty sure I prefer everything about Connery’s second to Moore’s fourth. A Top 10 Bond film vs. a bottom 3 one for my list.

OHMSS over QOS - QOS is a middling Bond in my book, which means it’s decent but still not nearly as good as OHMSS, which is my second favorite Bond film. Again, pretty much everything about OHMSS is preferred for me over QOS.

Alright guys I know a lot of you actually really like QoS for some reason but if just one of you picks it over OHMSS then you'll kill my faith in humanity completely and it might even drive me to suicide. My life is in your hands.

I love MR, but FRWL is a plain better film and a plain better Bond film. Prime Connery.

And I'm probably less sympathetic to OHMSS than most here but it utterly crushes QoS. Some good ol' 60's magic stomps all over shitty editing and a writer's strike. In retrospect, QoS didn't do too badly with what it had, but "not too badly" doesn't compare to one of the series' finest.
